Matthew 9:11 in Context — Matthew 9

9 E Jesus, ao passar dali, viu um homem sentado na coletoria de impostos, chamado Mateus; e disse-lhe: Segue-me. Então este se levantou e o seguiu.

10 E aconteceu que, enquanto [Jesus] estava reclinado à mesa na casa [de Mateus] , eis que muitos publicanos e pecadores vieram e se reclinaram à mesa juntamente com Jesus e seus discípulos.

11 E quando os fariseus viram [isto] , perguntaram aos seus discípulos: Por que o vosso Mestre come com publicanos e pecadores?

12 Porém Jesus ouviu, e respondeu-lhes: Os que têm saúde não precisam de médico, mas sim os que estão doentes.

13 Mas ide aprender o que significa: ‘Quero misericórdia, e não sacrifício’. Porque eu não vim chamar os justos, mas sim, os pecadores, ao arrependimento.
